Kyle Richards was spotted arriving at her boutique in Beverly Hills early this week. The Real Housewives star looked pretty perky too, as she smiled and posed for the photogs. That’s not to say she didn’t look good — because she did.

She was wearing a very casual outfit of jeans, tank, and over-the-knee boots, but effortlessly elevated her style by topping the combo with an army jacket and a colorful scarf.

Of course, as expected, the scarf did its magic. It brightened up her face and somehow pulled everything together. Paired with her dangling earrings and layered necklaces, she looked like a glam momma dressed down for the day in a very on-trend attire.

There’s actually nothing new with what Kyle put together here. Using a bright scarf is an age-old trick that always works. It’s fail-safe and fool-proof. If you want to rock the style, make it fall appropriate by going for a chunky extra. Try these options from Paula Bianco and Missoni:

Paula Bianco Multicolor Tassel Scarf, $85

Missoni Chenille Mini Zigzag Scarf, $150

Once you’re done grabbing the scarf, don’t forget the other key pieces, like a pair of over-the-knee boots, glam earrings, and of course, a trendy army jacket.
